In an emergency, it's nice to know what's going on. If you're stuck in your house with the power out and a blizzard raging and the power company knew they'd have power restored to your area within two days, wouldn't you want to know? But if your power is out, how can you get news reports about your situation? There are always choices to make during and after an emergency, and knowledge about what's going on can help tremendously in the making of those decisions. And so today, for one lucky reader, we have an emergency radio to give away that does NOT require being plugged into a wall to work! These radios are a fantastic addition to your emergency kit or your car kit or just to have in your preparedness stash.

Stay prepared and informed with the KA009R from KAITO.

This radio is a newly released and improved version of Kaito's widely acclaimed emergency radio KA009, it has all the nice features that a KA009 can offer, plus it comes with six different adapters for charging cell phones, so you can use the radio to power up your cell phone to make important phone calls when the battery is out.
